Sneezy and Grumpy

If I only had a nickel for each time I've sneezed today. Hell let's make it a dime. I deserve a little extra for the effort. It was one of those days where the pollen just takes over your world causing you to seek shelter from the gazing eyes of others. To go far out of your way to avoid potential human contact. Like a dark closet in a remote location. I just don't want to be seen in this condition. Nose running, eyes swollen, gasping for breath, a sense that your head is about to pop. And just when you feel like you've managed to get things under control, it starts all over again. And though I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel (mid-July), it's distant and faint at the moment.

I've gone all day trying to face it with dignity. Silent and strong. No complaining. But finally home, behind closed doors, I'm letting it all out!! Not that it's going to help lower tomorrows pollen count. Though I'm holding out hope for a torrential, end-of-the-world type downpour. A good extended rain always helps.
